Floridians who suffer from chronic pain are left with a constant nagging discomfort that won’t go way. If you have been diagnosed by your doctor with chronic pain that has lasted for over 12 months and have found it difficult to work, then you may likely qualify for Social Security disability benefits.

While an individual may be convinced of the severity of their pain and discomfort, the condition will need to support itself with a certain amount of medical data. For example, a claimant cannot merely qualify for benefits based on the degree of the severity of their symptoms, but rather on the degree of proof that they can provide from their medical records.
